Tourists are piling into N Wales as usual when the schools close for holidays.
I'm inland at the moment but just got back from the coast.
Caravans and BnB filling up.

Traffic getting  heavier and slowing down.

I never go on holiday to Spain. And I don't like the food. It's Greece every time for me.

 If you haven't already been, go to Santorini, it's probably the most picturesque Greek island of them all.

---

 No, I like a sandy beach.

---

 In that case...avoid. It's the one thing Santorini doesn't have. It's picture postcard beautiful though.

 I would like it I think, looks amazing

Mags, you would love it.
I saw this nighttime pic of Santorini a few years ago, and decided the place would be on my bucket list to visit.
It was one of the best holidays we have had...so beautiful.

 I'm glad you enjoyed it Syl.

 Thanks, tbh, I can only remember one holiday I haven't enjoyed.

Almeria in mainland Spain around 4 years ago. The hotel we stayed in was so unfriendly to Brits, we vowed we would not return to that area ever again....and we wont.

It's the only time we have ever felt unwelcome in a place. The room also stank of drains, and we insisted on moving rooms because there were actual bedbugs in the bed. It was a 4* hotel too....supposedly.

 

I wrote an honest revue on Trip Advisor, and they refused to publish it because I  accused the hotel staff of being racist, which they definitely were.

 I had this in the Canaries.  I went with a friend a few years ago.

The hotel hated us because we were English.  We were all inclusive and we all had to queue in a line at the bar!    Germans just walked up and were served.  At night we had to drink outside,but was chilly. We went into the bar, and the barman ignored us.  A German fella asked us what we wanted to drink, he ordered it and made the barman given it to us. He was angry at our treatment. This happened to us all.  Black girl on hols with friends said she thought It was because she was black, I said no it's because you are English. They were racist, nasty and very rude.  We complained to the Manager, it got worse after that.  Even the maids were nasty, never cleaned properly.  We stopped complaining.  I wrote a scathing view on Trip Advisor and it wasn't printed.

I was ill there, heavy cold because they never allowed us women inside with our drinks.  When I came home I was really ill. My hub  said I bet if he was there they wouldn't have done this, he was furious.  Seemed to be just English women.

I love the Canaries, never had a problem before or since.  Just that hotel.

That's horrible.
Can you imagine the outrage, and rightly so, if British workers in hotels here, treated foreigners like that?

 Exactly.  Karma will get them Syl, probably already has.
